Im looking at the salaries for the celts over the next few years on sham sports.

http://data.shamsports.com/content/pages/data/salaries/celtics.jsp

It looks like unless some of these trades are made, the next realistic chance the celtics have of possibly signing a max level FA is in 2015-2016.

The real issue there is that if you add in a salary that Rondo will likely demand.  (in the 15 million range)  Along wtih a likely Avery bradley extension (5 million range) that puts us back up to 39 million in salaries and also needing to resign Jeff Green.

Finally, it is looking like the 2015 free agent class will be pretty terrible with the only position holding decent players being the Center position

Marc Gasol
Brook Lopez
Omer Asik
Roy Hibbert
Deandre Jordan

2016 is the the year with players like wade, bosh, lebron, deron, Durant all being free agents again.

Marc Gasol
Brook Lopez
Roy Hibbert

i'm certain they will resign
Probably so.... I could See Gasol wanting to get out of Memphis though. 

Is there a third Gasol that the lakers can draft and trade to Memphis for Marc?

Don't know if you know this but there is actually a third Gasol brother.

Ha I did not.  Does he play basketball or is he like the Manning brother that the mannings don't even like
Cooper played football until he had a career ending injury.  I think it was in his neck, and I'm pretty sure he gets along fine with his brothers.

Im sure he does, it was a joke.   ???

Actually looked it up because I was curious.  The 3rd Gasol brother, Adria, is currently a walk on at UCLA.
